A seeker wonders about the line between being trustful and being naïve - how to know if one is just being taken for a ride?

Though tradition tells us that, should we find ourselves in the presence of a higher being, it is wise to ask for our heart’s desires without hesitation, Sadhguru cautions us that receiving a gift for which one is not evolved enough to receive will only bring trouble for both giver and receiver.

Sadhguru and award-winning actor Anupam Kher discuss the sense of wonder that used to be synonymous with childhood, and how this is fast disappearing in today’s youngsters.

During this conversation, actor Anupam Kher asks Sadhguru, “Do you believe in God?” One believes something, explains Sadhguru, because they are not sincere enough to admit that they do not know.

Most of us are so busy with survival, trying to keep death at bay, that we forget to live life. Sadhguru tells us that one who does not embrace death does not know life at all. Shiva – who has been symbolically associated with the Third Eye, the phallus and being ash-smeared – embodies an awareness of the simultaneity of the processes of life and death. The truth, says Sadhguru, lies beyond the easy oppositions of life and death, this and that.

The only purpose of life, he explains, is for one to find his ultimate possibility.
